How do you like the service? How did you go about transferring your number from a major cell carrier to Tracfone?

What year Grand Prix kit?

I built the Polar Lights 65' Coronet too. I agree with some of the innacuracies that others pointed out. If I were to build another Polar Lights Coronet I would just use the body ,interior, glass, chrome and for everything else I need I would get from the Lindberg 64 Dodge.

I agree with you Chuck about what tooling is lurking deep down in the vaults. If Round 2 can resurrect kits such as the old MPC 68' or 69' Dodge Coronet R/T or the 67' and 68" Pontiac Grand Prix kits there will definetly be a buying frenzy by us model car builders . This in turn will allow Round 2 to see that producing those Holy grail kits will justify to fix old tooling and get more varieties of kits to production.

Plans for paper model of Marmon Wasp here.
GMP440 replied to LUKE'57's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Pretty interesting. Just a thought. You can take the paper pattern and glue it onto thin sheet plastic and do all the parts in plastic instead of paper. It would make for a nicer and stronger body. -
Is this the recent Modelhaus issue of the 70' Coronet 4 door? When did you buy yours? I noticed that the rear wheel openings are the same shape as the 2 door . Modelhaus just reissued the updated one recently but don't know if they ever corrected the rear wheel openings.

Was at the local Wally World and saw a new edition of diecast from Johnny Lightning. Anyone know what scale they are? Saw the 70' Torino and looked at the side of the box for a listing of the other diecast in the series and noticed the 70' Charger is listed. However, the there is nothing on the box that says what scale they are. Thanks.

Stripping Chrome......
GMP440 replied to kitbash1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Get Eagle One Products "Bare aluminum wheel cleaner with etching acid". That takes any kind of chrome off in 15 seconds. Advance or Pep Boys Auto stores sell it. -
Notice in the pics with the sprue that has the hood on it, there is the Talledega nose there. It's top right.

How effective is it? Is it easy to use. I am having trouble masking sharp curves and maybe using Microsol Micromask will be easier to use since it can be brushed on.

Two-toned paint schemes masking question.

Just was thinking more about this by using saran wrap or the real cheap tin foil for covering large areas where you don't want overspray. Will the tin foil leave any marks or residue? -
I am working on the painting a 71 Cyclone race car. Would like to read about suggestions as far as what kind of paper to use for covering areas not to be painted. I have been using newspaper but is there anything else better that would work. Thank you.

This is the perfect opportuniity for the powers to be at Auto World to clean up the 68' Coronet body and put it in this kit. go The body and it's parts were found about a year ago when it was supposed to come out.

So basically, the Fast and Furious Charger is the ex-MPC 1969 Charger kit. I noticed that a few years ago when my friend , who worked at a hobby shop that I frequented showed me the contents of the box. Sure enough, a correct tunnel back window body, nascar parts and if I remember correctly a 69' grill. Too bad, AMT marketed that one as a 70' with an incorrect grill. Had they marked it as a 69' probably would have sold well.

best spray Paint for high humidity.
GMP440 replied to Robert81's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I agree with Jantrix about the Duplicolor paints. They are great in humid weather. That's all I ever paint with. Advance, Pep Boys and other auto parts stores carry them. -
I want to ask how I can make nascar type seat harness buckles? I appreciate any suggestions and ideas. Thanks. George

How long is the drying time? Does it flow pretty good to?
